This news, just re ceived from the Natural Chilean Nitrate folks, is good news to many thousands of listeners who have been entertained through past winters by the kindly old negro character who is featured in these Chilean Nitrate of Soda broadcasts. As usual the Uncle Natchel pro gram-will consist of songs, nat ural observations of old Uncle Natchel to his young friends, and dramatized stories dealing with personalities and episodes of the old days of the south. Almost all of the Uncle Natchel stories in the new series of broadcasts are historical some dealing with the war between the States, some with pre-Revolutionary days and others with the stirring times of the pioneers. These stories are written by Ethel Parke Richardson, former ly of Nashville, Tenn., for some years a teacher of history and long an authority on early bal lards and folk lore of America. The Uncle Natchel role is played by Frank Wilson, considered one of the foremost colored actors in America. Hq currently appears on Broadway in New York in the play “Kiss the Boys Good bye” in which Miss Helen Claire, formerly of Union Springs, Ala., who played the feminine lead in the Uncle Natchel programs last season, is scoring a real hit as the featured star. Miss Claire’s successor in the Uncle Natchel series is Miss Jean Dante, a young Virginia girl who has had considerable stage, screen and radio experience. On the stage she has played with Philip Marivale and Gladys Cooper. She has had two years in Hollywood, and in radio has appeared on the Rudy Vallee hour and in Lux Theatre of the Air.
